II

Farmhouse, now house. Dated 1874 on rear gable but incorporating some fabric removed from adjacent early C17 house known as "The Lodge", which was demolished in that year; and altered. Coursed squared sandstone, slate roof. L-plan formed by double-depth, double-fronted main range with short rear wing to left. 2 storeys with cellars and attic, 3 windows, almost symmetrical. The centre has a gabled single-storey porch, with a moulded round-headed arch which may be from the earlier house; and, above this, the principal feature of interest, which is a very unusual ogival-headed 5-stage 15-light mullion-and-transom stair-window with ovolo-moulded mullions and transoms, ogival hood-mould, and a coped gable with kneelers and the stumps of former finials. Such a window is not shown in surviving photographs of either the front or the rear of The Lodge, and may have been assembled from parts of several different windows in that building. The other windows are orthodox for the date 1874: vertical-rectangular openings with raised sills and plain surrounds, and altered glazing. Coped gables, gable chimneys. The rear has similar C19 fenestration, and a datestone in the gable of the wing inscribed "RTP 1874". INTERIOR not inspected.
